Projects and Publications

Our research is focused on movement science, pharmaceutical sciences, particularly drug discovery from local herbs, Molecular epidemiology of human and animal disease causing pathogens, host-pathogen interactions and the soon to be introduced forensic sciences. We are number one for research in Zambia. The university’s location in the nation’s capital provides unparalleled opportunities for learning at leading scientific centres and institutes as well as top health policy think tanks and researchers. We are always looking for ways to apply our research to meet Zambia’s health challenges.
